However, the Liverpool goalkeeper admits a move back to his homeland is unlikely in the near future.

“At the moment all the big Spanish teams are covered in my role, so I see it as very difficult to return to Spain”

The 31-year-old spent last season on loan at Napoli, with Simon Mingolet taking his place between the posts at Anfield.

A return to link up with former Reds boss Rafa Benitez at the Serie A club looks to have hit the rocks though, with the Italian side unwilling to stump up the £3.95m release clause in his Kop contract.

Reina is in the USA with Liverpool for their pre-season preparations, and insists he's happy to bide his time and wait for his future to sort itself out.

"I have a contract to respect with Liverpool. I'm training well and I am perfectly fine with my team-mates," he told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser.

"I am here to stay. I have not talked to Brendan Rodgers, I've been here for only four days and I am just thinking of training to my best and getting back into shape.

"At the moment all the big Spanish teams are covered in my role, so I see it as very difficult to return to Spain.

"It's normal though that over the years you want to return to where you came from, so we'll see.
